Celebrating the Class of 2026 Stats

The Martin County School District proudly celebrates the accomplishments of the Class of 2026! More than 1,300 graduates from Jensen Beach High School, South Fork High School and Martin County High School walked across the stage during the week of May 19, 2026, each carrying stories of perseverance, achievement, and a promising future ahead.

“When a student earns a diploma from the Martin County School District, it represents far more than academic achievement—it reflects years of growth, perseverance, resilience, and the discovery of who they are and what they are capable of becoming," shared Superintendent Michael Maine. "Our mission of educating all students for success comes to life through graduates who leave our schools prepared for the future, confident in their abilities, and ready to continue striving for excellence in whatever path they choose. There is no greater reward than watching the Class of 2026 step forward ready to make a meaningful impact on the world around them.”
